I was thrown aback by the 10 year remark. Then I figured it out,,, he is not being awarded for the full Metal Gear series,(of about 20years) but only the Metal Gear Solid renditions?? Why? The best one was the first! And I am not a classic gamer at heart, but I recall the first game being the true spirit of the Metal Gear series!

p.s. did he gwet a face left???!!! Whoa... how changes by years in every pic I see.

Despite your disagrees, the guy is a genious. The Metal Gear Solid series is one of the best series' in the world of gaming. I've loved everything he's done, from MGS to the ZOE series. One of the most visionary developers since Mario, he deserves accolades. People might disagree with me, but he has been an influential presence in the gaming world. MGS4 rocked. A bit heavy on cutscenes, but the game itself was magical. People that disagree haven't played the games. It's that simple.

OVERRATED!! Only kidding. I didn't love the latest MGS installment and he sometimes says things that makes gamers scratch their heads (at least he's earned that right unlike others in gaming); his talent is undeniable. I still vividly remember moments from the first MG where the writing was amazing not only for a video game but in general. Congratulations Sir. Keep them coming.

For the PS2, MGS3 and Zone of the Enders1 / 2 are both epic...EPIC I SAID EPIC >=/..lol...I love Kojima..he honestly motivated me to become a computer scientist..Hopefully one day ill take these rough drafts of mine and turn it into something he'd be proud of.

First of all you deserve every inch of success your getting.. 2nd I cannot Thank you enough for bringing me THE BEST Franchise of all time im sure plenty of gamers feel the same way. I'm making it my goal to go to japan and to meet you one day (I am not joking) just to personally thank you.
